Tempus enables precision medicine through the practical application of artificial intelligence in healthcare. We have one of the world’s largest libraries of clinical and molecular data, and we use that to train and ship ML algorithms that can help doctors choose the right therapies specifically for their patients. The goal is for each patient to benefit from the treatment of others who came before by providing physicians with tools that learn as Tempus gathers more data.
I lead the Algos Engineering team. My team ships AI models driven by molecular (DNA and RNA), clinical and imaging data. We've recently shipped algorithms that drive new therapies to patients (see https://www.tempus.com/additional-testing/ ) with more on the way. This is some of the most exciting and cutting-edge research in the industry, and I am lucky to work with an exceptional data science and medical team every day.

However there is one glaring absence: I don't see a recommendation to show provable academic results. You could follow all of these snd still have an ineffective product that doesn't actually advance student learning. Hopefully that will change as schools demand more data driven results from their vendors.
I would say about 50% gaming (I'm a fan of puzzle games personally) but the other half is entertainment- 360 videos and immersive education experiences from Vrideo, Jaunt, and several standalone apps are phenomenal and I can't get over the fun of "being there".
I can't wait for the market to grow and additional content to come out.
Every student has unique needs, interests, and abilities - and they learn better when their education is targeted to them. Come join our team as we transform the education system to match students with the unique resources that will address their learning style & needs.
We work with K-8 schools across the country to implement personalized learning in the classroom. Our method provably doubles academic gains for students of all types - and we are growing exponentially.
You'll be a foundational member of our small team; we work across the stack, from data infrastructure, to our main Rails services, up to a front-end in Angular, React, and iOS. You'll learn more here than anywhere else in your career.
If you are passionate about making a real difference in the world, send me (CTO) an email directly at luke@esparklearning.com.
Needless to say, it distorts all kinds of incentives and the black market thrives anyway.
"These features of longbow technology had two important implications for those interested in adopting it. First, centralized efforts were necessary to create a culture of archery. As shown above, these efforts in England consisted of laws supporting bow ownership and practice, restrictions on competing leisure activ- ities, subsidies for bows, and festivals and tournaments focused on archery skills. Because of this, the longbow could be adopted only by, or with the permission and support of, a nation’s ruler, who alone wielded the authority and resources required to undertake such e orts. Indeed, given the nature of longbow technology, to have even attempted to adopt the longbow without his ruler’s permission, a noble, for example, would have needed to successfully hide the fact that he was continuously training large numbers of archers for years—a highly improbable proposition. Second, conditional on a nation’s ruler adopting longbow technology, a usurper noble with an eye on the Crown, or a prince interested in independence for his territory, could lead an effective rebellion against his ruler by supplying the inexpensive weapon to large numbers of citizens, whose ruler-sponsored training and practice with the bow had made them proficient archers. Thus, to be willing to develop longbow use in his country, a ruler had to be confident that his efforts would not be turned against him."
When used effectively, we have seen students using iPads double their learning outcomes in a single school year. The issue is that the evaluation sustems are in their infancy- the review sites cited in the article are pretty useless because they rarely go more than skin deep.
My company, eSpark, evaluates and curates the best tablet apps for use in schools, and we apply rigorous review to make sure they work. I've been really impressed by how much the ecosystem has changed in the last few years and can't wait for more classrooms to catch up.
We transform student learning to help students succeed in school and in life. We are the only major edtech startup that has the magnitude of proven results - 1.6x to 1.9x expected growth targets. Check out the data here: http://www.esparklearning.com/data-results/
We have a Rails stack, including Angular/React within a hybrid native app and a number of micro services on the backend. I'm looking for 1 or 2 Senior Engineers to join the team and make a significant difference.

He misunderstood the reference; Alibaba raised $25b in their ipo but was valued much higher ($231b). There's plenty of room for a company worth 70b to ipo.
We're changing the way students learn. We find and deliver the best apps and resources to students, personalized to their unique talents and needs. You'll have an opportunity to transform the education industry. We double the rate of student learning in schools around the country.
